## 測驗 `1`

[Gap Buffer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap_buffer) 是種動態陣列的實作方式，廣泛用於文字編輯器一類的程式。其手法是將「空白」(gap, 指字串沒有填滿緩衝區的部分) 移動到緩衝區中間，如下圖：


當我們執行插入或刪除動作時，緩衝區中的 gap 會隨之移動。例如，下面一句話中，初始情況下空白在緩衝區的最後：

This is a smple txt.[        ]

> 這裡我們使用中括號 (即 ==`[ ]`==) 表示空白

當我們想要在 `smple` 中插入 `a` 字元時，編輯器首先把空白移動到 `s` 後面：

This is a s[        ]mple txt.

然後在 `s` 後面插入 `a`：

This is a sa[       ]mple txt.  

若我們想在 `txt` 中插入一個 `e`，則需要同樣的步驟：

This is a sample t[       ]xt.
This is a sample te[      ]xt.  

這種方法所基於的假設是，編輯文本時通常為連續接受輸入，其他時間則較少更動。

部分 Emacs 變種使用 Gap Buffer，包括古老的 [Emacs on TECO](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TecoEmacs)、現代的 [GNU/Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) 及早期 [Gosling Emacs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosling_Emacs) (Java 之父 James Gosling 在 1981 年用 C 語言撰寫的 Emacs 編輯器，後來 Richard Stallman 取用部分程式碼打造出 GNU Emacs)，和 [Scintilla](https://www.scintilla.org/) (包括 [Code::Blocks](http://www.codeblocks.org/) 許多整合開發環境裡頭使用的程式碼編輯器元件) 也使用 Gap Buffer。某些 Emacs 版本改用 [Linked Line](http://web.mit.edu/~yandros/doc/craft-text-editing/Chapter-6.html)。

一個實作案例：假設文字編輯器的編輯區已有 `Hi, world!` 字串，然後游標 (cursor) 在 `,` 前面，我們用下方表示法:

Hi<cursor>, world!。

gap buffer 會先建立下方的陣列，在此我們假設 gap 的長度是 4 且僅有一個 (事實上可能有不少這種 gap)，`\xx` 表示 ASCII 編碼為 16 進位 xx 的字元：

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [a] [b] [c] [d]
'H' 'i' \00 \00 \00 \00 ',' ' ' 'w' 'o' 'r' 'l' 'd' '!'

當使用者刪去一個字元後，變成這樣：

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [a] [b] [c] [d]
'H' \00 \00 \00 \00 \00 ',' ' ' 'w' 'o' 'r' 'l' 'd' '!'

使用者輸入 `ello`，變成這樣：

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [a] [b] [c] [d]
'H' 'e' 'l' 'l' 'o' \00 ',' ' ' 'w' 'o' 'r' 'l' 'd' '!'

然後使用者右移游標，變成這樣：

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [a] [b] [c] [d]
'H' 'e' 'l' 'l' 'o' ',' \00 ' ' 'w' 'o' 'r' 'l' 'd' '!'

需要注意的是，當遇到緩衝區填滿的情況，需要重新配置記憶體再複製資料內容，所以 gap buffer 對於大檔案的處理會有效率疑慮。

走訪上述的編輯過程:

Hi<cursor>[    ], world!
H<cursor>[     ], world!
Hello<cursor>[ ], world!
Hello,<cursor>[ ] world!

考慮以下 Gap Buffer 實作程式碼:

#if (__WORDSIZE == 64)

    v++;
    return v;
